The Curious Case of Sunglasses.

So, I have come to the conclusion that sunglasses can make nearly any person look better.  Too often has there people who look so darn attractive...and then they take off the sunglasses and it leaves you asking "is that the same person?"  Sunglasses for regular people are like makeup for celebrities.  Have you seen some of these celebrities when they are wearing make up? *Chill runs down spine*  It is truly a frightening site to see.

It is almost like they should start selling sunglasses over the counter; like in pharmacies - and they should put precautionary warnings on them.  Kind of like you see on your passenger side mirror in a car.  It is visible but doesn't take up so much space that you can't see - and it should read, "Warning these sunglasses are scientifically proven to make whomever is wearing them look better, if you are fooled we retain no responsibility for your ignorance."  

That would be great.  Really. It might just make my day.

If you really think about it, it is obvious people know.  No longer are sunglasses purchased merely to protect our fragile eyes from the vicious sun.  No, now most people don't even buy sunglasses for that purpose.  They just want to look better, and the quick fix is sunglasses.  The whole ultraviolet ray protection is just an afterthought.  How many times do you see people wearing sunglasses when it isn't even necessary? In the dark, in a building, on a cloudy day!? It is ludicrous people - but it sure does work. Maybe I need to get some sunglasses...

A very serious issue...

Ok, so today I have a very serious issue to discuss: it is way too hard to tell the age of people. Have you ever been at a high school dance, mall, store, etc. and wondered "how old is he/she?"  It especially gets more difficult to as you get older with all of the laws on harassment and such.  You want to talk to that person but you don't want to be a creepy or viewed as a molester or worse. So there is the problem.  Solution? Yes.

I have discussed this issue with many people before and we have come to the conclusion that if you are under 18, you should have to wear a tag on your forehead or shirt clearly stating or age.  Or maybe just have it stamped on there.  It would make things sooo much easier in so many aspects.  Also, it would help prosecutors because people would no longer have the excuse "I thought she was 18."  If they lie about their age, they get punished. Simple as that.  It would clear things up.  Good idea? I thought so.

Curiosity Killed the Cat

Ok, so I'm going to make an observation.

Have you ever noticed how you (and others) tend to look over when driving under one of the following circumstances:

- A car passes you

- You pass a car

- You are at a red light

Don't deny it. You do it.  I think that everyone does it, it is human nature.  We are curious.  Who am I passing? Who is passing me? Hmm...maybe I'll give this person a "hard" look.  Or you see an attractive person of the opposite sex and think, "Is he/she looking at me? Am I staring? Where is the "I love you" sign when you need it.

Oh guilty pleasures.  We are curious creatures - it happens.  You've at least noticed someone staring at you.

I wonder if there are statistics on this. I also wonder what people think when they see some random "damn teenager" singing, jamming, or rapping in their car while stopped or driving.  Interesting...

"All I know is that I'm smittin with..."

What a word: Smitten (properly spelled).  I'd really never heard that word before until that cleverly written Gym Class Heroes song "New Friend Request".  Actually, I don't really know if I've ever heard it used in casual conversation before; except for yesterday.  Honestly, I don't know why it isn't used more.  

More often used words include: infatuated, enamored, enchanted.  All great words but smitten? How can you top smitten? You can't. Nice try though.

Let's bring it back - because unlike sexy, it actually did leave...
